Atomic Robo And Other Strangeness (2010) - Plot & Excerpts
This volume of Atomic Robo is pretty good, on par with previous volumes with writing and pacing and plot, but I didn't find it as compelling as the third volume. There's not much I can say what I liked in general without reiterating my previous reviews, but, specifically to this volume, I loved the send-up of Power Rangers and kaiju stories. And Doctor Dinosaur is the absolute best (SO MANY CRYSTALS); I hope to see more of him! This is a collection of multiple Atomic Robo shorts that span about four decades of the AI robot's life. Much like Mike Mignola's Hellboy and the BRPD Robo and the adventure scientists of Tesladyne fight monsters, crazed scientists and general threats to the world's well being. The differance between the two, besides science versus the occult/paranormal, is Robo's humor tends to be less dark and cynical. Either way you won't really go wrong enjoying either character's adventures.
